Hatching and Fledging Times from GrasslandPasserine Nests
Accurate estimates of fledging age are needed in field studies to avoid inducing premature fledging or missing the fledging event. Both may lead to misinterpretation of nest fate. Correctly assessing nest fate and length of the nestling period can be critical for accurate calculation of nest survival rates. For researchers who mark nestlings, knowing the age at which their activities may cause ...
متن کاملUltrastructure of the tubular nephron of Testudo graeca (Chelonia). A comparison between hibernating and non-hibernating animals.
The tubular nephron of hibernating and non-hibernating specimens of Testudo graeca (Chelonia) was studied by means of conventional light and electron microscopy and histochemistry. The tubular nephron was composed of proximal, intermediate, distal and collecting tubules in both hibernating and non-hibernating animals. The cells of the proximal tubule showed long microvilli, cytoplasmic vacuoles...
متن کاملUltrastructure of the renal corpuscle of Testudo graeca (Chelonia). A comparison between hibernating and non-hibernating animals.
The renal corpuscle of hibernating and non-hibernating Testudo graeca was studied by means of light and electron microscopy. Renal corpuscles are small and have a glomerular architecture similar to that found in other vertebrates with a limited glomerular filtration rate. In hibernating animals, unlike non-hibernating, some morphological changes took place. The cells of the renal corpuscle were...
متن کاملArrested embryonic development: a review of strategies to delay hatching in egg-laying reptiles.
Arrested embryonic development involves the downregulation or cessation of active cell division and metabolic activity, and the capability of an animal to arrest embryonic development results in temporal plasticity of the duration of embryonic period. Arrested embryonic development is an important reproductive strategy for egg-laying animals that provide no parental care after oviposition. In t...
متن کاملEgg-laying defective mutants of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
We have isolated 145 fertile mutants of C. elegans that are defective in egg laying and have characterized 59 of them genetically, behaviorally and pharmacologically. These 59 mutants define 40 new genes called egl. for egg-laying abnormal. Most of the other mutants are defective in previously identified genes. The egl mutants differ with respect to the severity of their egg-laying defects and ...
